…next, transfer the potato sticks to a colander & give them a quick shower under running water to wash off the excess starch…

…then give the french fries sticks into a large pot, cover them with water & add a good dash of white wine vinegar…

…bring to a boil & allow to simmer for about 5 minutes…

…after that pour off the water using a colander & allow the sticks to cool for about 5 – 10 minutes…

…meanwhile heat up a large pot or wok for deep-frying adding about 1½ liters of oil…

…once the oil has reached a temperature of 190°C – 200°C (to test whether the oil is already hot enough, you can alternatively dip a wooden stick into the oil & as soon as small bubbles rise up on the wooden stick you can start deep-frying)…

…carefully give the french fries into the hot oil, and pre-fry for 1 minute…

…then use a ladle to lift out the fries and allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes on kitchen paper…

…after 30 minutes heat up the oil again to 190°C – 200°C & deep-fry the potato sticks for another 3 – 4 minutes until golden and crispy…

…then lift out the done french fries & briefly allow to drain on kitchen paper…

…transfer the fries to a mixing bowl, season well with salt…

…give them a good toss…

…and serve along with mayonnaise & ketchup!

I wish you lots of fun cooking/baking 😉
